Password generator

Generate a strong, random password with customizable options.

16
Select at least one character type.

Weak or reused passwords remain one of the most common causes of account compromise. A strong password is long, random, and unique to each account, which is exactly what humans are bad at coming up with on demand and remembering. A password generator solves this by creating a genuinely random string of characters that's far harder to guess or crack than anything a person would typically choose.

Security best practice recommends using a password manager to generate and store a unique, random password for every account, rather than reusing the same password (or a slight variation of it) across multiple sites, since one leaked password can otherwise expose every account that shares it.

How to use the password generator

Choose your desired password length and which character types to include — uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols — then generate a new random password. Copy it directly into the account or password manager where you need it.

Frequently asked questions

How long should a strong password be?

Longer is generally better — most current security guidance recommends at least 12 to 16 characters, since longer passwords are exponentially harder to crack through brute-force methods.

Should I include symbols and numbers?

Yes, mixing character types (uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols) increases the total number of possible combinations, making the password significantly harder to guess or crack.

Is it safe to generate a password in a browser?

Generation happens locally on your device using your browser's random number functions, and the password isn't transmitted anywhere or stored by this tool.

Should I reuse the same generated password across accounts?

No — use a unique password for every account. If one site suffers a data breach, reused passwords put all of your other accounts at risk too.

How should I store generated passwords?

A dedicated password manager is the recommended way to store passwords securely, rather than writing them down or reusing memorized ones across multiple accounts.
